Extreme TYPE Conversion String Object
Oct 15, 2010
I'm looking for some help (a shortcut to be more accurate) with type conversions in VB.NET 2005.I made a little program that stores rich text, with multiple pages (tabs0¦ like a notebook.I use 3 different printers throughout my day and the default printer has a page size of 3 x 15¦ it's a Zebra.It must remain the default printer.My little program has Page Setup,Print Preview¯ and Print¯ controls.It works fine as-is, but I am revisiting the project with the hopes of being able to store the selected printer and page setup for each page (tab) within the notebook¯.Currently, I am grabbing the information from the PageSetup Dialog1 Object and converting it to a String:[code]This is great for storing the PageSetup information for each tab, but putting it to use later is a problem!How do you take these Strings and then SET them back to the Object without parsing up each String?

i've created bunch of classes. i have webservices which reference these classes and contains the classes as parameters and return objects.when i call the weservice, i have to convert the class to the webservice object else i can type conversion error.is there a generic way to convert between these types without having to assign the values by hand?
for example
public class person
fname as string
lname as string
end class
[code]....
i would liek ot be able to call the web service and return the data type back and have a generic coversion instead of as above in stead of:
dim wsPerson as wsReference.Person = ws.getperson()

I now have SQL Parameters set up and I'm using them to save/delete/add my data. This all works well, except when it's trying to save a combobox to the datatable it appears with the error above.Majority of my comboboxes have datasources, and the valuemembers of these are the actual list items, not the ID's of the list items.I'm not sure why this error could be happening, I'm fairly sure I've connected everything to the binding source correctly; I've checked it a few times.Does anybody know what the cause of this could be? I've looked around a bit and I haven't found much

I am getting the error "Conversion from type 'DataGridViewTextBoxCell' to type 'String' is not valid." When trying to display a cell from DGV in a listbox.I have my variable for the cell reference as follows:
Dim a As Object
a = DataGridView1(4,1)
To insert it in the listbox as follows:
lstLetter.Items.Add(String.Format(a))
I tried:
lstLetter.Items.Add(a)
This will not actually display the entry inside the referenced cell, it shows this in my listbox instead:
DataGridView TextBoxCell { ColumnIndex=4, RowIndex=1 }
how I need to convert this to display.

I've been getting this error when pulling data from a recordset. It is coming from a null entry and as a newbie to VB2008 I'm not sure how to get around this.
here is my code lblShipping.Text = reader("CARRIERCODE")
the error:Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid. Basically what i'm attempting to accomplish is to see if there is anything in that field. If so put it into the text box if not leave it blank.

I am importing an Excel spreadsheet, turning it into a dataset and inserting the results into SQL Server (only 100 rows).
I am having an issue with one of the date columns in Excel, which can have a value or not. The "F" column is the one that may be blank and this is the error I get: Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid.
How can I add a check to the Dim F As Date = CDate(row(5)) to handle a null?

At run time my application gives an error of "Conversion from type "DBNull" to type "String" is not valid. In my form only one field - Add_info is an optional field which might be filled or not by the user. Before, I had an error when an apostrophe was used so i updated the code as highlighted below. This in return removed the apostrophe error but generated an error whenever there is an empty additional field. [code]

I am currently in this project whereby i need to initiate the color of group boxes to be pink in color at the start of the application.
However, as there are a few hundred groupboxes, i have been trying to automate the entire process.
The name of each groupbox is sth lik "grp_8_p1_21_1" whereby the "21" and the "1" will be increasing incrementally by 1 each time.
What i have done is to use a loop to increase the variable, but as i tried to run it, it was saying that i couldn't use a string with groupbox properties...so i was just wondering is there any way to change the string variable to a groupbox type?
For i = 21 To 26
i.ToString()
Dim first As String = "grp_8_p1_"
Dim second As String = "_"

I'm in the process of porting an old excel addin that was writen in VBA to VB .NET. The Excel addin interacts with a number of external com objects. The code sorta looks like this:[code...]
What I'm trying to do is read the string from the COM object and get it in durr for use later in my program.
That second line results in the exception posted above. If I try casting with CStr/CType I get the same exception.
The visual studio watch window reports the type of hurr.getString as a "System.__ComObject" whereas the VBA watch window reports the type as "Variant/Object/String".
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information.TypeName(hurr.getString) says the type is "String".

I've got a routine that checks a website my my external address. What I'd like to do is loop through the string just to get the first 15 numbers and full stops (periods). But that isn't my question, my problem is I've got this routine that isn't building because of a string conversion issue. I don't know how to correct it.
